Instructions

Pancake Instructions

  • Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, milk, and eggs (or chia seeds if vegan). Stir gently until just blended; a few lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
  • Rest the Batter: Allow the pancake batter to rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Pour in batter to form circles and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown.

Oatmeal Instructions

  • Make the Oatmeal: In a saucepan, combine oats and water (or milk) over medium heat. Stir as it simmers, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until creamy. Add seasonal fruits and nuts.
  • Assemble Your Plate: Start by adding a stack of pancakes to your plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, then add a generous portion of oatmeal alongside. Garnish with extra fruits and nuts for an inviting presentation.

Notes

Allowing pancake batter to rest is crucial for fluffiness. Adjust the water-to-oat ratio for oatmeal based on preference.
